SharpDX - annotation
Posted on 2012-04-12
Using SharpDX (a library which gives C# programmers the ability to access DirectX libraries in a managed environment) how would I perform an annotation on an image?
I want to keep the original image just as it was and just add some text to the upper left corner of the image, then save-off the image combined with the annotation.
This is all happening in a console app -- no GUI, no windows forms -- all in a process sight unseen.
Thank you!

Tom,
Let me first say that I have no idea how to achieve that effect, but I am intrigued by SharpDX (since I have never heard of it).
I downloaded the binaries, and I am looking at the samples. If you have any insight to ramp this up to the next level, I would be happy to help.

I see code in the Samples\Direct2D1\BitmapAp
public static Bitmap LoadFromFile(RenderTarget renderTarget, string file)
If you have a System.Drawing.Bitmap object, you can create a System.Drawing.Graphics object from the Bitmap, and use the DrawString method to annotate the image.

I am abandoning the SharpDX solution.
I am focusing on optimizing the PixTools library code instead.
I think the Direct2D / SharpDX takes the project in the wrong direction.
I don't even know if SharpDX or Direct2D would even FUNCTION in a console app, which this is.

Hey, good luck with PixTools. It has been a while since I have thought about image processing, and I haven't heard of PixTools either. I like to keep in touch with my past lives!!
